It's just 24 hours until the big day, and you say goodbye to your spouse-to-be, knowing you won't see each other again until you're at the altar. You set off for an evening of fun with the ladies while he's off with the guys, taking in one last night of single life.
The man's not allowed to see the bride the day before the wedding, it's bad luck they say. It's tradition. For that matter, you've carefully hidden your dress from his view since you first bought it (showing everyone except him). In this way, the wedding becomes an extremely secret affair that seems to find joy in hiding things from the groom.
One of the first mistakes that many brides make while planning for their wedding day is over spending on the dress. And while some brides are of the mentality that over spending on the dress is one of those perks of getting married, it will be their wedding dress after all.
The one who comes out victor is said to be the next to marry. But where did that tradition come from? Who decided it would be a good thing to do and why would anyone want the garter-of all things? Tradition has it that the practice began long ago, and was a much more violent affair than you've seen today.
In other words, one of the most common bridal mistakes a bride can make while planning for her wedding is to spend their entire fashion budget on the dress alone.
It just so happens that the idea to not see the bride before the big day came from a time of arranged marriages. Two families would agree to let their sons and daughters marry in order to gain some political, land, or other kind of increase for their own family.
Fathers would give away their daughters. The arrangement was made and the date was set, but the groom-to-be was not allowed to see his future bride until the day of the wedding.
The bride's parents feared that if he were to do so, he might find her unattractive and call off the deal altogether. As an insurance policy, part of the deal came with going completely blind into the marriage. The bride's veil was even designed to keep her features hidden until the last possible second. It was all a ploy to increase the odds that the groom would go through with the wedding.
The next major planning mistake that brides and grooms often make is getting set on a specific flower before they know the exact date of their wedding day.
This good luck has everything to do with the ladies though as it is meant to help him get married. Like the bouquet toss, the one to catch the garter is expected to be the next in the party to marry.
Instead, a couple should only plan for what flowers they want to have at their wedding after they know the season of their marriage and what flowers are readily available.
As arranged marriages have ceased in many of today's cultures, the tradition remains, even though they has less meaning now. Today, many couples uphold the superstition that it's bad luck for your marriage if you see each other a day before the wedding.
Veils are still worn and dresses are still kept secret. Even though he's not going to reject her on the wedding day, it's still a fun tradition to upkeep.
